A touch panel, comprising: a substrate, a plurality of touch electrodes and a plurality of traces disposed on the substrate. At least one trace is connected to at least one touch electrode, and comprises a first conducting wire and a second conducting wire. A trace insulating layer is provided between the first and second conducting wires. The second conducting wire is connected to the first conducting wire by at least one via on the trace insulating layer. First conducting wires of at least two adjacent traces both have at least one break point, so that a first short circuit point between the first conducting wire is isolated from a corresponding second conducting wire; or, second conducting wires of at least two adjacent traces both have at least one break point, so that a second short circuit point between the second conducting wire is isolated from a corresponding first conducting wire.
